the division has always been an argument in the tory party between a minority of far right tories and the slight more sensible majority. they dragged the rest of the country into their squabble and because they were not able to deal with the nicotine-stained man frog and his deluded followers - well, we are where we are. sadly - labour also have shirked their responsibility to stand up on a clear principled platform. they can't be seen to accommodate policies that will harm the country and encourage racism and division or they will deserve the same fate as the tories
